RE: [RC] 1000 mile horses a dime a dozen? - Bob Morris

OK as near as I can tell from a look at the horse and rider awards, i.e.
medallions awarded, the following is how it stands as of this date.

MILES                   HORSES                  RIDERS
1000                    2928                            2019
2000                    1053                            1031
3000                    464                             687
5000                    119                             315
10000                   6                               79 
10000          7
15000                                                   34
20000                                                   11
25000                                                   7
25000                                          5

Subject: [RC] 1000 mile horses a dime a dozen?


Heidi recently said that 1000 mile horses were fairly common. I'd
dispute the dime a dozen bit - that's 20 50's which amounts to over
$1200 in ride fees alone! But it did make me curious - how many horses
make it to 1000 miles? 2000? What proportion of riders make it to 1000
miles?

I've found the columns on various statistics of our group interesting,
and this is something I'd like to know.

those distances...Good Lord, it humbles me. ~  Frank Solano
